Touchdown22

Looks like the poll was wrong again about 22-3A. Go 22-3A.

Coldspring defeated Splendora 5-2.

They just can't get it together. We have several young players but mostly there are poor fundamentals, can't shoot consistently, lack of intensity until they are down, poor plays and/or line-up by coach, no one crashing for the rebound, and basicly not everyone on the same page. They press and some times it works and sometimes it doesn't but the coach should make a on the spot changes to different press before they give up 10-12 points. Shepherd almost came back with 10 straight points from under the basket with their press break. The coach is making changes and that is all you can ask for from him but sometimes it is 50/50 if the players show up to play or lay down. Simple pick-and-rolls will stop the poor passing they are doing which is our biggest problem and will open up the three in the corner. This team is not geared for high level plays. Just my thoughts as a fan. I hope they get it together.

The majority was the students that graduated 5-7 years ago but with 5 mins still let in the game two 40-50 year old women sitting three rows up from the Coldspring's bench taunted two players continuosly. They was standing screaming and waving there arms specificlly at two coldspring players demanding them to say they suck and sit on the bench. It only escalated the other fans and those two players to make comments back. The Coldspring Coach should of had them removed from behind them or had a meeting with the refs and/or security. Just my opinion.

They have two kids Dumas and Gray that can shoot. They also have a strong rebounder Harrell that will foul out. Run Dumas until he cant shoot, pass over Gray's press, and box out Harrell. That should do it.

[quote name="CMurder75" post="1343925" timestamp="1354121973"] Shepherd and Coldspring both have pretty good tight ends. the kid from Coldspring is tall and long and gets alot of jump balls. the kid from Shepherd is a real big kid at 6-5/6-6 245lbs with good athleticism. Got Shepherd out of alot of jams and is a load to bring down. [/quote] Kid from Coldspring got 1st team TE and was hard for Safeties to hold down the middle. 6'5" 195 looks pretty fast after the catch. He was one of Coldspring's main receivers when Coldspring threw their three passes per game. LaMarque had 3-4 defensive players guarding him down the middle everytime he went out. Didn't see Shepherds TE, I think he was hurt when Coldspring played them.

No one said anything about deep runs, just making the play-offs before with that previous team maybe proof enough. But I think it was taught at a young age by there dad for them to hide certain plays until play-off time. Very sneaky coaches. They thrive on being the underdogs.

[quote name="texaggies07" post="1337781" timestamp="1353420115"] I wonder when Coldspring is gonna get the respect that others in the area get.  I mean we do have some history of winning.  The last two years we have to the finals and semi-finals.  Seems like everyone is always against us.  Not sure what the deal is.  We are one of the smallest 3a schools in the state and we play like one of the biggest.  The whole wiping the floor with us and all is just disrespectful to me.  We may not have a Sherman Gilbert this year, but I still think we got enough to get it done.  I guess we will see come Friday.  I think LaMarque is very dangerous and very good.  I remember watching them on film before the first matchup and I thought oh my goodness I don't know if we can beat them.  Now seeing what this has done this year I think they can compete with anyone. [/quote] There is only one team hated worse than us (Coldspring), that is Cleveland. Always been like that from the 1980's- present, even with the little league teams. Just ask Cleveland. I wouldn't want it any other way. I like to see everyones best when we play them. Makes the win even sweeter, just like against WOS last year. All I heard was crickets from the third quarter of that game on, last year.

The last few years I noticed that the Barbay's hold their best coaching until Playoffs. All Jasper has to do is not fumble and maintain ball control eating up the clock. If this happens 34-28 Jasper.

[quote name="Saw" post="1321340" timestamp="1352174455"] Which Cleveland football player was on the news for a scandal or crime? Don't base your opinion of Cleveland kids on something that someone in the past did. I am sure there was a murder of some sort in Houston tonight ... Are all Houston residents murderers? Get over yourself. As for the injury . . . It most likely occurred during play. It's football, it happens. I hope the young man heals and is able to return.  if he gets the chance to at college ball, I pray he is able. [/quote] Are you from Cleveland? Thats why they have metal detectors. (Everyone from the district should have metal detectors when Cleveland comes to their campus.) Lets see a quote from the news on just one incident[i],"Those charged included two top athletes at the local high school and adults with criminal records.[/i]". Wasn't the last AD fired or resigned after a fight was caught on video just before the 2010 play-offs and there was a scandel to cover it up? This type of stuff has been happening since I was in school in the '80's. My statement was "usually the kids are a bi-product of the adults" which means just keep watching the news. Hence the recent Wal-mart incident was probally a kid from the Cleveland School or a kid that grew up to be an adult that went to the Cleveland School.

If you look at the play calling second half, Barbay ran the clock out like he does quite often. He had two injuries and chose to play it safe. 95% of plays was in the middle. He knew he had the win. Our chop blocking calls are never intentional, most of the time they are reach blocks that get pushed over another blocker that is cutting or over a blocker knocked to the ground. They are taught to stay with their block until the whistle. Cleveland is different than 30 years ago, usually the kids are a biproduct of the adults. Just look at how many times Cleveland is on the news for scandels or crimes.

A few boys kept bumping Barbay to get him to break the all time record (73) on Tarkington and Splendora. They said the only team he would consider breaking the record on would be Cleveland. Must not respect them too much. He played some JV players on Liberty preparing for next year, thats bad enough, since talking smack at the track meet. And if it was a track meet they would win again, but it isn't.

The only thing holding score back will be Barbay, by playing safe with ball control and running every play that will eat up the clock. 48-14. But if he allows the players specifically the seniors to run and pass, then all time scoring record (73) on the line. 75-21 Coldspring.

I started calling Shepherd to upset some people early, after Coldspring played them. And just what I said, everyone under estimates QB Everitt in the open field. I must be a genius or maybe I know something about football. The only game I didn't call on the site was this one, but I did under my breath. Congrates Shepherd!!!!! Instead of worrying about Coldspring, Cleveland better worry about Shepherd. Boy does it matter when kids believe in a coach.

Thats why you get beat, the cleveland fans aren't working hard, and usually leave in 3rd quarter when the times get tough. We run sprints with the kids in Coldspring.......LOL

Those years Tullos had a better athletic group of kids compared to now. Those kids won everything in Little League football and basketball. Their star running back (Heavy) moved to Northshore and they still won. The only difference would be maybe he would not be beat by as much. Stop "what if's" and start getting ready for Coldspring. More sprints and less talking.

Who would have thought that was even a possibility when the year started. [/quote] There wont be a fight,Cleveland will stomp Shepherd like a bug. [/quote]You will have an eye opening experience in two weeks. I'm not ready to predict an Indian victory but you can put that mercy rule in check. Coldspring isn't hanging 60 on the Indians. This game will be very competitive. I knew after the Cleveland v. Huffman game that Huffman would have trouble with Coldspring. Cleveland beat Huffman in every stat but turnovers and of course the score board. The only one that matters. If Cleveland can capitalize on opportunities offensively and not turn the ball over, the battle of the C's will be just that, a battle. The question is wil Cleveland recover from the beating Coldsppring will give to them the week before Shepherd plays them. I predict not, they fold and Shepherd by 6. [/quote] Cleveland didn't even score a point against Huffman until the 4th quarter, it was 34-0 before Cleveland even got in the end zone. Don't try to make it sound like Cleveland was the better team. They had better stats because Huffman was on cruise control for half the game. As far as the Coldspring game, Huffman played terrible. They were missing their best wr/db and Townley was over throwing everyone, not to mention stupid turnovers like losing the fumble on the Coldspring 1. That was the turning point the game was back and forth until the turnover on the Coldspring 1 and then Coldspring drives down to score again before the half, after that is seemed like Huffman gave in and the score got alot worse than it should've been. Not saying Huffman woulda beat Coldspring just saying the the score wouldn't have been that bad if a different Huffman team had showed up. [/quote] You sound like your from Liberty with all those excuses!!! [/quote] I don't think I made any excuses actually. I posted facts and said that imo the Huffman team that showed up against CS was a different team. CS played good that night Huffman didn't, but I don't believe that CS is 39 points better than Huffman. [/quote] They never do...........

[quote name="Indians08" post="1306796" timestamp="1350903251"] Keep wishing, that won't happen, are you sure your not on drugs with all these predictions ???? [/quote] After Coldspring scored this year the most points ever scored for the series vs. Shepherd (69) and vs. Huffman (60), I think he prepares next year's squad with Liberty. But he may let the seniors play vs. Cleveland to what the players and fans want to do is "the most points ever scored" by Coldspring period, it means 74 on Cleveland. (Old record 1994 vs. Trinity 73 points) It is a rival crossing all sports(including Basketball) dates back to the '80's and just fitting for Cleveland. If he lets them instead of running the clock out, means Shepherd may capitolize on broken hearts and bad attitudes.

Touchdown22 Re: Tarkington at Shepherd Game Thread/Shepherd wins 54-14! « Reply #13 on: October 13, 2012, 06:47:24 PM »QuoteModify -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [i]I predicted shepherd by 21 but wow. I also predict they will beat Liberty by 7, Splendora by 14, and upset Cleveland by 6. Everyone is going to underestimate Shepherd's QB Everitt's running abiity.[/i] Here is my previous predictions and was right so far. Shepherd was by 21 over Takington, Shepherd was by 14 over Splendora, and I predicted verbally in the stands Coldspring by 30 over Huffman. By the way we sub'ed in the 3rd quarter against Huffman. I must be either lucky or a genius. Either way the only thing protecting Cleveland is Barbay having mercy and protecting players for Playoffs. Which opens it up for Shepherd to capitalize on Clevelands broken spirit.

Cooper has been playing offense.

Coldspring by 21.

I predicted shepherd by 21 but wow. I also predict they will beat Liberty by 7, Splendora by 14, and upset Cleveland by 6. Everyone is going to underestimate Shepherd's QB Everitt's running abiity.

This is starting to get ridiculous. Everyone in district can' be this bad. I noticed several starters sub'ed out in the second quarter the last two games and after half time on shepherd. They have not had to pass very much at all, the O-line and double tight is dominating on the ends on scat-trap. 3-4 Running backs getting 8-10 yards at a time. We are coming Huffman, like I said on a earlier post, Barbay may run it up on Cleveland just because its cleveland.

Seen both teams. Shepherd by 21 points.
